UC s Health Promotion And Education Program Honored For Its Community Connections
The University of Cincinnatis Health Promotion and Education Program was honored with the Youth Service Award, presented by AIDS Volunteers of Cincinnati (AVOC). Professor and Program Coordinator Randall Cottrell received the award July 25 at the annual AVOC meeting at the Cincinnati Museum Center.
Founded in 1983 in response to the first AIDS-related death in Cincinnati, AVOC works to provide education, services and care to people living with AIDS and HIV. Every year, AVOC is provided the opportunity to work with interns from the University of Cincinnatis Health Promotion and Education Program, says AVOC volunteer coordinator Barbara Levine. These students come to AVOC with a wealth of knowledge, energy and ideas. This is a great gift the university gives to AVOC.
UCs Health Promotion and Education Program in the College of Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services offers tracks toward either an undergraduate, masters and doctoral degrees in health education. Program coordinator Randall Cottrell also serves as president of the American Association for Health Education, a national organization for health education professionals.
